Welcome to Postcards from Pembrokeshire (207/365)Today’s Postcard: Down to the beach, Coppet HallFog gave way after I cheerfully predicted that sea and sky would share the same grey forever. I’m a bit sun-starved. Watson licked his paw and with a squinting sea-dog mumble predicted a brighter day later on. A bit later Eloise and I tried to find a cloud to counter his smugness but couldn’t, so here we are. Coppet Hall and a path that lifts the soul. Paint: (back to my Ritec Red homemade earth paint): Titanium White and Cobalt Blue for the sky like yesterday, the same for the sea; beach of Paynes Grey, Naples Yellow, Kings Blue Pale and Titanium White, Cobalt and Blu Turchese. In tiny strips. Timbers of Permanent Mauve, Ivory Black and Naples Yellow, a tint of white again here and there, Cadmium Green Pale added for the grasses. Brush: Sizes 8 and 12 filbert (bristle); Sizes 2 and 4 (synthetic sable).I hope that you like the painting. It’s Friday eve, Watson’s ordering a Chinese.Hwyl,GuyCast:Eloise Williams: fabulous wife, author of “Elen’s Island” and now “Gaslight”; sea-glass spotter and knitter of new tales not yet complete;Watson Jones (WJ): cairn terrier, wok chef, tofu taster, chicken checker.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8HsgVN3pMkwww.postcardsfrompembrokeshire.com ​
